Well, shit.
The NBA trade deadline has passed, and the Kings big move was…[checks notes]…acquiring Robin Lopez only to waive him. But hey! At least the Kings got some cash!
The Bucks are sending cash in the deal, sources said.

I am truly at a loss right now. I don’t know how the front office can look at this roster and how they’ve performed this season and think “yes, this is fine”. The Kings gambled on continuity in the offseason, and the results have been underwhelming. The record is good, sure, but the West has gotten tougher and the Kings have not. If the season ended today, the Kings would be in the Play-In. Do you trust the Kings to step up and win a play-in game? I certainly don’t. Not when the Kings just lost a game to the Detroit Pistons in the exact same manner that they’ve lost multiple “should-win” games all season long.
The only good thing to come of this is Robin Lopez, who has now been acquired by the Kings only to be immediately cut for the second time in his career:
I just hope it’s enough to get my number in the rafters I hope I left a legacy there https://t.co/YDfKOuiPUE
